afr3178 Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 Hi Everyone, Didn't know where to put this, so I thought here would be best. I've been looking into getting live blackworms but I have no idea how to look after them. How does everyone look after their blackworms? Thanks in advance for any advice. Cheers Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNgo2006 Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 I chuck mine into a 10l tank with aeration and small internal filter, change the water every couple days. Seems to keep them healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fletch Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 (edited) Ice cream container in the fridge with one IAL. Change water every few days/daily. :-). Easy. Edited August 8, 2012 by Busman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yanagi Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 I put a 15ml serving or two into a small ice cream container and totally forget about them for weeks on end. When I find them in an inconvenient spot and with almost no water left, I top up with chlorinated tap water and repeat the process.... Oh that isn't what you meant, was it? :giggle: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afr3178 Posted August 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 (edited) Thanks all of you Sounds pretty easy once it's all set up! Shouldn't have too many problems Thanks for the thread Sarah, really helpful Chi- how many worms do you get at a time for that size tank? Haha Yan- the thread is about taking care of them! but it's good to know they're so hardy! Busman- very simple! How many fish do you feed with the amount of worms you fit in there and for how long? Thanks again everyone :) Edited August 8, 2012 by afr3178 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davo Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 i normally get 2kg from Australian Blackworms at a time. I normally put 1kg of it in a 3t tank with heavy aeration and a bare bottom tank. You don't really need to change the water with that much water. I normally feed them some trout or sinking pellets with a high protein count to make sure it sustains them and they reproduce ..slowly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
